You right. Also I don't even follow events. I no get such time. I just once in a while glance through.

I never keep track of my birthdays, let along follow events happening far away.

anyways You right. A lot of people started following last year. As for me, before this invasion, all I knew was that there's a country somewhere called Russia. I knew nothing more of them.

But you see eh, when I want to learn about something, I really look into it from multiple perspectives and angles

Yeah, you should do that. But nothing will ever justify invading another's territory in order to remove a democratically elected government.

Jimasun:
I have been following this show for 8 years.
Ukraine's treatment of Ethnic Russians was horrible.
And also, the removal of the ex President was done illegally because legislators from Donbass were sent packing.
Also, Ukraine banned Ethnic Russians from using their own language. That's insanity. No sane person would support such cultural genocide

The presence of legislators from Donbass wouldn't have changed anything. There were over 320 members of parliament at the time of the impeachment out of a total of about 450 and every single person assented to it. That was purely democratic and an expression of the wish of the people. Russia had no right to topple it. There are Yorubas in Benin republic and Fulanis spread around Africa; Nigeria has no jurisdiction over them. So what Russia did was clearly meddlesome. Also, the ban on speaking ethnic Russian and Greek was only done after Crimea was annexed. I guess you should know why.

Benjaniblinks:
Please change the source of your news. You should also read from pro and anti source before drawing conclusions. I hate one sided view een

Lol. A lot of you started following this show last year which is why I laugh at you when you air your views .

Benjaniblinks:
Is this your own view about the whole issue

It's yours

juman:
Oh oh.
The source of your news are fake news.

That's exactly what the warmongers want you to believe. I said he should dialogue with Russia... anything can come out of the dialogue. Ukraine is in ruins now, whose gain is it? At best, what the Ukrainians will have would be a pyrrhic victory. And by the way, why resort to insults when what we are discussing is not personal in anyway?

That's the reality and not what warmongers want me to believe. I made another comment up there explaining the Russian-Ukraine crisis. Scroll up and you would see it.

I am not insulting you. But honestly it would be foolish to back down from a fight that was brought to your doorstep. Ukraine never attacked Russia. Russia invaded their territory and brought it to ruins. They are within their rights to defend themselves and fight to the finish. It's called personal dignity and it's a sorry a lot of persons don't understand this.

juman:
I condemn killing of even one soul.

Russia has to defend themselves.
Russia wanted peace with Ukraine but the Ukrainian leaders are too confused and immature to know what they wanted.

Ukraine and Russia are brotherly countries.
Russia want peace with them till tomorrow.

Now let me give a timeline of the Russian-Ukraine crisis because it appears a host of you are not informed.

In 2014, Ukraine was to enter into economic partnership with EU for their prosperity, and the legislature voted overwhelmingly in favour of this. At the last minute, Ukrainian President made a u-turn and opted for a deal with Russia which angered his people and triggered an uprising. After series of crackdown on the protesters, the legislature had to vote, and a vote of no confidence was cast on the President, hence he was impeached. This is a purely democratic process that saw every single member of the house present at that seating voting for his impeachment.

The now ex-president ran to his friend Putin, and Russia annexed Ukrainian territory, Crimea for itself. This triggered Ukraine and they saw they were no longer safe with their neighbour, hence started making frantic efforts to join NATO for their survival.

In 2022, Russia launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine, and their goal was to uproot the democratically elected government and install their stooge.

In the light of this knowledge, pray tell, when was Russia ever pursuing peace with Ukraine? You accuse others of listening to western propaganda whereas you are just blinded by your hate for a nation that got nothing on you.

SLOVFO:
Why are politicians bent on wasting the lives of Ukrainians? Why? It's clear even to the blind that Ukraine cannot win this war. Why can't Zelensky or whatever is his name embrace dialogue, even if it means making concessions to save the lives of his countrymen?

That concession you talked about is him stepping aside for his whole country to be annexed by Russia and brought into oblivion. If that is the move you would make were you to be in his position, I would call you a fool .

Antiochus:
I believe a time is coming when Americans won't take this shit anymore even the major European countries backing that comedian. America is the one rallying Europe against Russia because it sees Russia as a competitor that must be destroyed but Europe will get tired too and try to sue for peace but will America toe that path due to its own ego? Zelensky will soon get tired too.

You wish. The US is wrong, UK is wrong, the host of EU nations backing Ukraine are wrong, but only you and your lord Putin is correct. Dey play .

KingAzubuike:
Even if its significantly less than 10M, its still quite high. Charging money to worship God might sound somehow to some people. Fine, we have to consider transport, feeding and other things but when its running into millions of naira then you are just after your own pocket and not the purpose of Christianity.

These gospel artist see gospel music as an alternative to secular music. And what these gospel artist do behind the scenes will shock you. Na them dey musangwe pass.

Significant less than half of 10 million, and she gave 1 million back.

dantewest:
I find it absurd that Nigerians support the USA in this baseless and useless war in Ukraine. They hate to debate the actual cause of the war, refuse to reason with common sense about reality as well. All they know how to do is to insult and turn that situation into tribal hatred.

That’s how one even praised Dr Fauci that has been in hot waters for the manner the whole corona virus pandemic was handled.

The love for the USA doesn’t mean you should turn a blind eye towards what’s right and wrong.

Putin did the right thing. What is NATO doing along the Russian border?

I find it absurd that you support the senseless killings by Putin in Ukraine. Ukraine was not a member of NATO before Putin invaded and still is not. Nay, they never considered joining NATO until Russia pulled the first provocative act by annexing Crimea in 2014. So, tell me, what was the actual cause of the war you want to debate about? I'm sure a lot of you Putin fans think all these started last year.

Nigerian feminists will bring it down. They are good at importing western standards

I'm not sure of the requirements to get an account with them. But can't I link the wise account to Paystack?

It's very simple. Get on geegpay.africa, register with them and they will open an American Bank account for you. Send the Account number to your company and you will get paid. You don't need Paystack or Payoneer, as their rates are not very competitive.

Do it the last time sir,then if you fail to decipher what I wrote,then kindly forget aboutrit sir.

Good evening for the 3rd time sir!

Followed your instructions for the third time and I'm tempted to ask again.

It's not me, it's you .

Caaz:
Pls kindly repeat the process two more times.this time dip your fingers inside Acid and clean your glasses,for clearer and better comprehensive vision sir.
Good evening sir.

Again, done.

If you were all trained to think that way, why do you now think that training was wrong. Shouldn't it be thought as being part of your culture?

Caaz:
Take off your glasses,get a clean tissue folds and clean your glasses,put them back on your eyes,this time read my comments again,but this time slowly,don't rush the reading,read again slowly for like 3 minutes then you go understand wetin I write.
Good evening sir.

Done that.

If you were all trained to think that way, why do you now think that training was wrong. Shouldn't it be thought as being part of your culture?

ahnie:
In SS abavo precisely the women are the bread winners,same with women from my tribe and extracted tribe(urhobos)we were trained to never depend on a man and we grew up with that mentality to hustle and fend for our kids,and our men 78 percent grew up with that mentality that even if they do not provide,the wife would definitely hustle and care for the kids

If you were all trained to think that way, why do you now think that training was wrong. Shouldn't it be thought as being part of your culture?

Seun, does this thread meet the criteria for being in front page?

Samogloby:
Can you read again the jargon you are spewing out. Masses are meant to be suffered,why political appointees should be driving cars

He is being sarcastic. But I guess we are so used to the st*pidity of Jagajaga's followers that we don't put anything past them .

seborrhic:
My issue here is the kind of journalists we have.
How can simple arithmetic of 185 to 500 be a more than 300% jump!
@topic,it's an idea but that means many people will arrive at their offices and places of business smelling of sweat

Gasoline sells between 500 and 600 in many parts of the country, so they are right to peg the increase at 300%. We've just seen the price of PMS increase in triple fold.

Cyberterror:
There are many ways of government easing the pain of subsidy removal aka palliatives. The government doesn't necessarily have to spend money to do this. The federal government can cut import duties by 50% for the next one year only. They can also cut excise duties for local manufacturing firms at the same rate and for the same duration. The states and local governments on their own part can stop collecting ticket revenues and daily levies from keke and bus operators in exchange for keeping transport prices at pre-removal rates for the next six months. Traders in their various markets can get similar reliefs.

[s]But no matter the strategy that government adopts, petrol subsidy must never be reinstated no matter the pressure by enemies of Nigeria led by the NLC that are remote controlled by the defeated labour party.[/s]

That would result in a revenue shortfall. The reason the government is taking out subsidy is because Nigeria presently has not enough money to finance her budget. Your darling daddy plunged the nation into huge debt that a large chunk of the money accrued from crude oil sale is being used to service it. Cutting down on other sources of IGR now would not help the government meet her obligation.

goodness4ever:
Osinbajo tried.

He really tried.

But his best was not good enough.

No, he didn't. He stood by a government of ineptitude till the end and watched on the sideline as our democracy was being r*ped so long as he got his fat paycheck.

He was not walking down the aisle but walking away from it. They had been joined and were making their way outside, so it's okay to put a thing or two in order from the phone.

Merry100:
Even though I had to follow certain doctrines when I was younger, I have come to question some of them as they cannot be proven through the Bible. I am particularly curious about where the Bible specifically forbids wearing earrings. My parents are devout Christians, and they did not even pierce my ears, let alone allow me to wear earrings. However, one day I felt like wearing an earring, so I put on a magnetic earring and went out. Later in that day, I attended a Church program a friend invited me but when I got to the Church, I was asked to remove my earring or leave.

I am not trying to shade Christianity, not all Churches treat visitors that way, I was even surprised at the way I was treated that day. I am just specifically curious about where God condemned earring in the Bible? I accept that all Churches have their own doctrines but some of these Churches still use there doctrines to rate Christians from other Churches. Is wearing earring a sin or just some Church doctrines? I can't find any verse in the Bible that condemns earring. If you know any please indicate.

Understand that a lot of worship centers have not fully comprehended the gospel they claim to preach. It may be difficult to truly learn Christ in these places, especially when they have not gotten the basic understanding of eternal salvation. You may have to keep searching, but I guarantee you there are many Christocentric churches out there and more emerging.

What's amazing about this story is that despite the amount of years it took, the US Marshalls never closed the case but pursued it to a foreseeable conclusion. This is very unlike here in Nigeria where the trials from a murder case grow cold in just a few weeks. I wish we had it better.

Eriokanmi:
Yes, we had the demand that was more than supply at the CBN's unrealistic rates. Now, dollars will be available but at the newly devalued rates cos everyone who goes for bidding will get. Our foreign exchange earnings still remains crude. This has appreciated greatly in price for over a year now. Don't believe them when they say there's no Dollar. Its a big lie. Its the rates that aren't realistic.

We are not earning enough forex, reason they are taking out subsidy. Much of what we earn is paid back in foreign debts, so there is little to go round at the moment. Dangote's refinery may help the situation soon as the FG is planning to source forex from them when they are fully in operation. Nigeria is in a huge mess presently. The harm done by the Buhari-led administration in piling up debts with little infrastructure to account for it is astronomical.

Your problem is not with JavaScript developers. You have a lot of personal pent up frustration going on on the inside. Get that fixed.

Two questions employers ask themselves when they are on the lookout for candidates to fill a role:

1. Do they know how to code?

2. Do I want to work with them?

Maybe you tick the first box, but you see the second? You've got a lot of antagonism going on that I doubt you will do well in a team. This is not a rigid judgement on your character, just an honest appraisal based on the position you have yourself at the moment.

Eriokanmi:
I'd advise those still hoarding dollars in anticipation of selling at 755 to begin selling sharply. Dollars fell to 715 naira at the black market yesterday. The implication of the recent policy is, dollar will be made available to anyone who needs it at 635, including the bdcs. The difference between the official and black market rates won't be much, as we once had it some years back. I see dollar trading at 655 at the black market soon cos it will be available to every bidder, including the BDCs if you now wish to approach the bank to get fx at the official rate, you'd need to present your TCC to enjoy the rate difference

Where is the CBN going to get the dollar from to make it available to anyone that asks? Perhaps you don't realize the reason for the previous dollar scarcity. Nigeria nor get money (foreign exchange), and Nigerians request for forex for even the most mundane things. So we have a demand that is more than supply which makes it difficult for the CBN to keep up, hence the parallel market.

So what is the alternative can i change the engine ....maybe am in love with the body built of the car ...if i need to change the engine wot wud it costI MUST CONFESS THAT I HAD ALREADY PAID FULLY AND COLLECTED THE CAR B4 COMING ONLINE.Which engine can i swap it for?

No, no, don't do that. You would be setting yourself up for a catastrophe. Since you've paid for it already, then use it for a while and observe in real time how it's economy fares compared to your Pathfinder. If it's something you can put up with for the gain of raw power on the wheels, then keep it. Else sell it and get the V6 which should offer slightly better economy. But don't attempt to change that engine from the stock. The engines on the 4runner are a workhorse, so they should serve you well.

GEJDHERO:
Na lie ...e dey consume fuel normally but not as u dey talk am ..statistics of resale of 4Runner is the lowest on social media unlike FORD and Highlander.That tends to show you that people are holding tight to their 4runner

Lol, the 4runner is a solid car no doubt, but you were asking about fuel consumption. The v8 will need 4 to 5 more liters of fuel for every 100km previously covered by your Pathfinder. If that won't break the bank for you, then go for it.

GEJDHERO:
Please rephrase

Bros wetin e mean be say the car dey drink fuel. Like e dey use dredging hose take dey suck fuel
